5:48Now PlayingDespite arrest warrants for Texas Democrats who fled their state to protect voting rights, no one has been arrested.
As of Thursday, none of those lawmakers were arrested, and the group of Texans say they are more determined than ever to block the GOP's restrictive voting bill. BNC Washington D.C. correspondent Bofta Yimam joins "Start Your Day" with Shannon LaNier and Sharon Reed to discuss the topic. The Democrats hoped their presence in the city would push Congress to pass the sweeping federal legislation know as the For the People Act. It would supersede the GOP's efforts to restrict voting rights on the state level.
